Description
Has the boss chewed you out? Try this: "I've met a lot of hard-boiled eggs in my time, but you - you're twenty minutes." (Jan Sterling in The Big Carnival). In the cult, crime, and noir films of the 1930's, 40's, and 50's, everyone was supremely eloquent. Now fans of these classics can be equally clever through this inspired collection from the greatest noir movies ever produced. With full-color reproductions of publicity photos, promotional posters, and film stills, Hard-Boiled is a glamorous look back at the tawdry characters, stylish settings, and memorable lines of that golden era. "I don't pray. Kneeling bags my nylons." (Jan Sterling in The Big Carnival, aka Ace in the Hole).
